Chapter 259 – BLDG 2 Doctorate (3)

Crazy man, that’s harsh.
I want you to be careful.
It’s a bit embarrassing to be conscious and able to talk, but I think it’s okay to believe that it’s true that I’m hypnotized at this level.

Unless you’re an idiot, there’s no way you’ll expose your weaknesses in a situation like this and let them poke them…
Reassured enough, I put the knife away from Leaf’s throat.
Riff’s frightened gaze trembled uneasy.

I glared at Leaf, the 2nd Doctor who was trembling in fear, and touched his lips.
Now… What should I do?
After thinking about it for a while, I asked the first thing I should know.

“… Did you act alone? Or someone else helping out… What about magical girls?”
“Yeah, yes! That’s right! It’s my personal move! Individuals, I am the only person!”

It seems certain that he acted alone… If that’s the case, it’s okay to hypnotize a little more leisurely.
Leaf is a low-level magical girl, and she didn’t fool me when I saw the time it took to release her magical powers. She was truly a low-level magical girl.
At the level of a low-class magical girl, no matter how many questions she asks, she cannot escape from hypnosis.

“Hee, hee… Mmm, crazy… What, what… I-I’m a magical girl… Lord, to kill, to kill…”
“Dr. 2…”
“That, that, yes, me, I’m a doctor, a genius, don’t you know that, to me like that, that, sword, is the damage to humanity, to a magical girl?!”

There are a lot of things I want to ask both Riff and the 2nd Doctor.
If you’re a low-class magical girl, you won’t be able to resist me… The safety device will be fine after a while.
Unable to bear the questions in my head, I held out the hypnosis app to Riff and asked him a question.

“… Why are you in my room, why am I looking for you?”
“It’s great… Rapid hair… To save… Stable supply… Personal curiosity, magical girls… How… Have sex like that…”

Two questions arise from the answer.
What are you using your hair for?
The fact that I had sex with magical girls… How do you know

“How do you know I had sex with magical girls?”
“Tracking… So guess… CCTV, because there is a record… In the subway, the Magical Girls of the National Defense Force measure up, so…”
“You tracked me down? Why? For what?”
“Well, I’m curious… ! Kuh… ! I wondered why a guy like this could have sex with a magical girl!”
“Your words don’t match, how did you know that I had sex with magical girls?”

To know that I had sex with a magical girl, I had to track it down.
If the cause of the chase was because I was curious about how I could have sex with a magical girl, the order of the two stories would be strange.
When asked for a more precise explanation, Riff answered with gritted teeth and muffled pronunciation.

“The beginning… Esther, all the quizzes… Because there is someone I know…”
“Esther Quiz… ? Oh, is that time…”
“Esther, there’s a guy who got all the quizzes right, but there’s no way he’ll solve it! There’s no way that girl would be like that, and I was just curious because the National Guard was talking about it!”
“So I was chasing… Did you find out they were having sex on the subway?”
“That, yes…”
“How can you be sure I’m having sex alone with that? Maybe they all had boyfriends.”
“I told you that Territory change happens! Since the codes are the same, of course they are the same target!”
“Tsk…”

I don’t know what it is, but I think I was able to find out that I was the only one having sex with the magical girls.
The 2nd doctor belongs to the National Guard… It belongs to the magical girl-related research department.
It’s not strange that Leaf, the 2nd doctor himself, knows the magic girls’ mana measurement records.
If your tail gets stepped on there… Does the National Guard know about me?

“Have you ever told the National Guard about me?”
“Doesn’t exist… Never, never… !”

Should I say I’m lucky… I don’t think I’ve talked to the National Guard or not.
I asked Riff another question.

“Is there another reason you came here? Explain everything.”
“Since Grape’s records also overlap, what kind of guy has 5 magical girls… I was watching this and that, thinking, but the person who keeps supplying rapid hair to Majinsa was strange, so I investigated… Because they are the same… I don’t know what it is, but I’m going to hypnotize it and slowly satisfy my curiosity…”
“You tracked me down? Is it tailing?”
“Majinsa hacking, CCTV hacking, drone hacking… Defense Force Data View Server Hacking…”
“… You didn’t move directly?”
“Okay…”

When I met Esther, the report I made while investigating my information using drones in the Defense Force became a little rumored within the Defense Force, and I thought it was strange and investigated… In the process, I found more and more strange things…
The tracking method was tailing and hacking, and strange things continued to be seen in the process, and eventually decided to act directly.
I thought I didn’t do anything that would get my tail stepped on, but I never thought things would turn out like this.

“Tsk…”

I understood the situation and clicked my tongue.
Maybe the illusion that CCTV seemed to follow me these days was not an illusion.
If this guy has been watching me all along… It is understandable that it felt as if someone was looking at it.

However, that alone is not enough reason to come to me.
This guy didn’t come to ask me how to have sex with a magical girl, he came to hypnotize me into a regular supply of Rapid’s hair.
As soon as I had more or less cleared one question, I asked another.

“Why are you collecting your hair? What do you mean by processing it?”
“Produced by W.C.R…”
“Explain what it is.”
“We, Will Crystal… Rapid’s…”
“Will Crystal?”

I furrowed my eyebrows at a word I thought I had heard somewhere.
The name of Grape’s weapon, Crystal Sword… I know that the weapon Louis uses is also made of a certain crystal.
Does that mean that Rapid’s hair will be the material for the crystal… ?

“What is Will Crystal?”
“A special metal that retains magical properties, a crystal…”
“Where do you write it? Tell me your purpose, not general usage.”
“Mu, mu, weapon… Big… Weapon making.”
“Weapon… ? Grape’s crystal sword… ?”
“That, yes… It’s something similar! Although the purity is slightly different…”

The purpose of the riff then… Is it weapon crafting?
Collect Rapid’s hair to find weapon materials… ?
Then why is it Rapid’s hair… ?

“Why use Rapid’s hair?”
“Because of magical properties… Oops…”
“… What are the magical properties?”
“The primordial origin melted into magic… Fixed if you awakened because you wanted to stop something, activated if you awakened because you wanted to move more… Keugh… I-how long are you going to leave it like this?!”

Of course, until the question I want to ask is over.
I constantly poured out questions to the encyclopedia, which satisfies my curiosity one by one.

“Is the purpose, then, the production of Rapid’s Will Crystal?”
“Okay… !”
“If you belong to the National Guard, can’t you just ask Rapid? Why…”
“Because it’s obvious that I won’t give it to you! And… Quit… You’re caught! And if you get caught… !”

Caught… ?
To whom… ?
What… ?

I don’t know who it is, but Leaf is being chased by someone… ?
Are you making a weapon to counter that opponent?
Just as he was about to ask a new question, Riff turned his gaze towards the front door and shouted loudly.

“This kind of thing… Looking at my post purchase history, I couldn’t believe it… Does it make sense to hypnotize a magical girl?! How is this possible!”
“What do you mean by using a hypnotic pen?”
“It’s not a hypnotic pen, it’s a hypnotic penlight! I understand better because I made it! What is this, someone stole my idea and remodeled it?!”
“I made it… ?”

Create a hypnotic penlight… ?
Then after all, is this guy the main culprit of hypnotizing people?
At the moment when the thoughts from a while ago were overwritten by the new question, Leaf smiled confidently and said.

“Yes, super genius, my invention! On the other hand, a penlight… ! It’s the best work I’ve ever made with an idea I came up with when I was making the Defense Force’s memory removal device!”
“Memory removal device… ?”
“I’m the only one who can make something like that…”
“You… Did you hypnotize people like that?”

What else is the National Guard’s amnestic device?
I put the questions that kept popping up behind me and asked Leaf what I was most curious about.
Riff then frowned, bit his lower lip, and replied, glaring at the front door.

“I don’t know which hypnosis you’re talking about, but neither of them are me!”
“Two… ? What else is that… ?”
“Aaaaa! Really! How long are you going to make me wait! Still can’t get the medicine combination?! Is it enough time wasting?!”
“What… ?!”

The sound of a window breaking, Leaf falls sideways.
Something like a small pill bottle stuck in Riff’s neck.
After continuing to ask questions, I suddenly turned my head to the side, startled by the sight unfolding before my eyes.

“Ouch?!”

Something flew through the broken window and got wrapped around my neck and stuck to the front door.
I felt myself being pulled powerfully towards the front door and felt my neck with my hand.
It flew in in an instant and touched something like an iron necklace wrapped around my neck.

Maybe it’s a magnet… It is also an incredibly powerful electromagnet.
I hit the back of my neck against the doorway and, unable to move, I pulled the iron ring with my hand and turned my gaze toward the window.
Something steps on a piece of glass in a broken window and enters the room, hidden in shadow.

“Quit, laugh, ah… Crane… ?!”
“What, what?!”

Riff is lying on the floor and twitching his whole body.
Could it be that something like chasing Riff has come?
Before me thinking like that, what entered the room slowly appeared through the rays of moonlight.

[Personal reality damage confirmation, territory deterioration… Confirmation, 27 seconds until liquid mana is purified.]

Something that looked just like Riff opened its lips and played a mechanical voice.
The sound of machines operating in the server room, the twinkling LEDs between the joints on the skin, and the heavy feeling of each step you take, let us know that it is not a human being.
Something reached out to me and opened his fingertips.

[Individual identification, level 4 negative… Classification presumption, mind controller.]

Electricity spurted out from the bare metal fingertips with a crackling sound.
It raised its fingertips and approached me, making a mechanical sound.

[Handling, killing.]
